Sheinbaum surpasses Bukele according to CB Global Data poll.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum managed to position herself as the leader with the highest approval rating in Latin America during May, surpassing El Salvador President Nayib Bukele in one of the region’s most recent surveys.
The study placed the Mexican president in first place in popularity among Latin American leaders, strengthening one of the strongest political moments since the beginning of her administration.
According to the results published by consulting firm CB Global Data, Sheinbaum reached an approval rating close to 68 percent among citizens surveyed across different countries in the region.

The difference compared to Bukele was minimal, however, it was enough to place the Mexican president above the Salvadoran leader in the continental ranking.
El Salvador’s president appeared in second place after registering only a few decimal points below Sheinbaum in the May measurement.
The ranking also highlighted Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader, who remained among the Latin American leaders with the best public perception.
The survey was conducted in 18 Latin American countries through digital consultations carried out among thousands of adult citizens.
According to information released by the firm responsible for the study, more than 40,000 people participated in the regional ranking.
The results reflected a divided landscape between governments maintaining high levels of public support and others facing faster political wear.
In Sheinbaum’s case, the study showed that the president continues maintaining a positive image among broad sectors of the population despite the political and economic challenges facing the country.
Although the Mexican president registered a slight variation compared to previous measurements, she managed to remain as the best-rated political figure in the region.

The publication of the ranking quickly generated reactions on social media where users debated the political influence currently held by both Sheinbaum and Bukele in Latin America.
Several comments pointed out that both leaders have become regional references due to the high international visibility they have achieved in recent months.
While some users highlighted the levels of public support obtained by both leaders, others questioned whether the surveys fully reflect the political reality of each country.
The report also showed that several Latin American presidents are facing a significant decline in their approval ratings due to internal conflicts, economic problems, and security crises.
Despite this, Sheinbaum and Bukele continue leading regional political conversations and currently appear as two of the leaders with the greatest public presence in Latin America.
